Song Heqing chuckled and said, “It’s far more than that. In addition to that, hundreds of counties and cities around have submitted their declarations of surrender. General Hu has captured more than twenty cities in his march south, all without shedding a drop of blood. Even if there is resistance, it wont make a difference. The strength of the Dragon Riders of the Yan is unmatched.”
“It’s a true submission from all directions!”
On the old face of Song Heqing standing next to them, there was nothing but joy and excitement that almost overflowed.
“This…is going too smoothly, isn’t it?”
Zhao Huai said with a strange expression on his face.
“Congratulations, Your Highness, given time, the Yan will be able to control the entire south.”
Yin Nanyu congratulated from the side.
Already ten days ago, she had instructed her hidden Raven Sect followers in the south to start their operations.
Spreading word of Yan’s deeds, stirring up people’s memories of the Yan.
At the same time, creating a ripple effect, having the Raven Sect followers help the Yan’s army enter cities and capturing them.
It was only natural that the progress was so smooth.
Facing such an excellent situation, Zhao Huai felt like he was dreaming.
This scale of response from all directions exceeded his imagination.
If it weren’t for the Xia Imperial Court being in the north, the whole country would be in an uproar.
Now the entire world knows.
Yan is restored.
“Junior Female Apprentice, so you are here.”
At this moment, a voice interrupted Zhao Huai’s thoughts. Several people walked into the hall, their auras strong and not to be underestimated.
Two men, one woman, and one elder.
Yin Nanyu pretended to be surprised and said, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you’re not dead!”
She excitedly approached and hugged one of the women.
“Ancestral Master! ”
Yin Nanyu cried out in a surprised and delighted tone, as if she had really just seen her comrades.
“Good to see you are all right. I’ve been looking for you with your Senior Brothers and Sisters for a long time.”
At the forefront was a blind old man with a cane in his hand.
However, his cane had been replaced with one made of willow wood. He spoke to Yin Nanyu with satisfaction, full of emotion in his words.
“Who are these people?”
Zhao Huai frowned.
Yin Nanyu took the initiative to step forward with a faint smile and said, Your Highness, let me introduce you.
This is my Ancestral Master from the Flying Bird Sect, and these are my Senior
Brothers and Sisters.”
The blind elder sighed, “When the Devil Sect attacked, I was in seclusion outside, and I never thought that the Flying Bird Sect would suffer such a disaster.”
A bald-headed strong man also had a regretful look on his face, “That’s right, if it weren’t for being out on a mission, I should have lived and died with the Flying Bird Sect.”
“There’s no use in talking too much now; the past is the past. The only lucky thing is that our Junior Female Apprentice is fine.”
The thin man with two swords on his back consoled everyone.
After hearing their words, Zhao Huai finally understood.
At the time of the Devil Sect’s purge.
The ancestor of the Flying Bird Sect was in seclusion, and the Senior Brothers and Sisters were on missions outside, which gave the devil cultivators an opportunity to exterminate the sect. “Please accept my condolences.”
Zhao Huai said consolingly.
“Junior Female Apprentice, we have been searching for you for a long time.
Have you rooted yourself in the Mortal World?”
The only woman, dressed in red and with a long ponytail, asked softly.
“I was chased by the Devil Sect and ended up stranded in the wilderness, almost killed by demons. It was Young Master who saved me.”
The meaning of Yin Nanyu’s words was very clear – she wanted to repay Zhao Huai for saving her life.
“Understood.”
“Don’t worry, we respect your wishes.”
The blind old man’s words put Zhao Huai’s mind at ease.
He had thought that Yin Nanyu would be taken away by the others.
But it seemed that wasn’t the case.
“Thank you, Young Master, for saving my Junior Female Apprentice’s life.”
The woman with the long ponytail thanked Zhao Huai.
“It’s nothing, just helping out.”
Zhao Huai replied politely, and he suddenly noticed that the looks of these people were quite peculiar.
They didn’t seem to be from the same sect.
Normally, cultivators from the same sect who practiced similar cultivation techniques should have similar temperaments.
Yet these four were different, each with their own specializations, and they didn’t look like they were from the same sect.
“Why don’t you all stay here? This manor is enormous, so adding four extra rooms is not a problem.”
“Alright.”
“We’d also like to see our Junior Female Apprentice.” The blind elder spoke in the direction of Yin Nanyu.
The other three also cast their deep gazes at Yin Nanyu.
The four of them quickly agreed.
Under Zhao Huai’s arrangements, they soon went to claim their rooms.
After they had left
Zhao Huai said to Yin Nanyu, ‘Your master’s cultivation is extraordinary.”
Yin Nanyu smiled faintly and replied, “The old man is a cultivator in the Rebirth Realm. In any of the major sects, he is a first-class powerhouse.” Zhao Huai nodded lightly.
Obviously, he agreed that cultivators in the Rebirth Realm were extremely rare in any sect.
If cultivators in the Initiation Stage were the foundation of a sect, and those in the Golden Core Realm were the pillars supporting the sect, then the Rebirth Realm would represent the foundation of the sect.
Even in the Immortal Sect, there wouldn’t be many cultivators in the Rebirth Realm.
A cultivator in the Rebirth Realm can establish their own sect and call themselves an Immortal.
With a Rebirth Realm cultivator in the sect, there is undoubtedly an increase in the sense of security.
Atop the city walls of the Xia’s Imperial City,
The very young and average-looking New Emperor, Yu Yunping, dressed in a golden dragon armor, looked melancholic in the distance, waiting for the battle report from the front.
The surrounding generals and ministers dared not speak, only waiting silently for the news.
The loss of the Ten States in the North had deprived the Xia of the initiative, and if this pass were lost, he might have to end his country. In theory, losing the Shanhai Pass would be impossible.
Unless there were factors beyond their control.
But Yu Yunping, having read extensively about history, understood one thing.
When the fate of a country was staked on whether a gate could hold or not, it meant that its demise was not far off.
Perhaps, as of the moment the North was lost, he had already lost?
But he always believed that miracles would happen.
Xia couldn’t fall after just two generations.
It was absolutely impossible.
Suddenly,
A figure appeared in the distance.
Fast-moving horse, carrying a red military flag.
Crying out anxiously:
“Your Majesty, Shanhai Pass is in grave danger! The enemy is too fierce, and they have the help of demonic beings!”
“Marshal Chen has died in the line of duty!”
Upon hearing such terrible news, Yu Yunping’s slender body shuddered.
The next second,
His blood surged, anger shooting up to his crown, nearly causing him to faint.
